Born in Beirut in 1975, great lover of travel and the arts, Karim Makhlouf has a unique trajectory which, at first glance, did not necessarily destine him to be the producer he has become. After studying law in France, he enlisted first in the luxury marketing. He climbed the ladder in this field, to become the Vice-President of a large luxury group in the Middle East. In 2008, he decided to start his own company, Med Plus, a publishing house which publishes two magazines today. The same year, Karim also became a partner in ..né.à Beyrouth and thus added another string to his bow.
